Photo Paint x 6 "Clone tool" question ...why can't i see 2 circles anymore?

I am using Corel Photo Paint x6 & when using the clone tool it always used to be 2 x circles (one with a cross) but now when i use it there is one circle (with a cross) & a paint brush pointer ....what have i done?? ...i want my 2 circles back!

Check the mode of clone on property bar. It will have only one circle if you have set it to Clone from Saved.

Thanks for the reply Anand
Unfortunately i don't use Photo-Paoint a lot so am not too sure of it!
I'm not sure what you mean by "Mode of clone" but "brush category" is set to Clone, & "Brush type" to normal clone as (as far as i know it always has)
The "Brush category" does have 2 coloured brushes in its little icon box, which i don't think have always been there!?
But changing them doesnt make any difference at all?

Best regards
Pete

I have just noticed that when using the "Touch up tool" that now has a brush instead of a circle too!

Go to Tools>Options under Workspace>General, check the box beside "Shape cursor for brush tools." That should do it!
